Many schools participate in Week of Respect. It's a week for accepting and celebrating differences while discovering common interests. Check out some ways to incorporate a little R-E-S-P-E-C-T into your lessons! 1. Use morning announcements to make suggestions for showing respect. These ideas could be separated into categories such as respect for family, respect for friends, respect for animals, respect in public places, respect for the environment, etc. 2. Create kindness rocks. Students paint rocks with inspirational messages and hide them around the community for others to find. You never know who you may inspire! 3. Make a new friend. Challenge students to play with someone new during recess. 4. Write messages about respect on the sidewalks. Students could research quotes and use sidewalk chalk to motivate others. 5. Have a respect your elders day. Have students make cards or pictures for nursing home and assisted living residents. 6. Have a theme week. Examples to include: Have a Mismatch Clothes Day to remind us that we may be different but we can all get along. Another day could be Team Jersey Day to show that we may belong to different teams but we all enjoy the game. 7. Have students complete a choice board: Week of Respect Choice Board The benefits of Week of Respect activities just may continue throughout the school year! Are you a subscriber yet?

As summer winds down, I reflect on what I've learned this summer through the workshops I've attended, the books I've read, and all the great conversations I've had with professionals. This quote has had me thinking quite a bit. It comes from Disruptive Thinking: Why How We Read Matters by Kylene Beers and Robert Probst. What they state is absolutely true. Students need to find relevance in what they are doing right now. So let's backtrack a little... I have always been about purpose. I look at what I'm teaching and ensure that what we are doing serves a purpose. And I share that with students. Understanding why we are doing something is very important to me. Interest is also imperative. I have always tried to make sure that I am matching the books I choose to the interest of my students. Interest surveys, conversations, and book selection time have always been informative to me. But relevance. This is something much deeper. It is something you are connected to. It is something that MATTERS. Well...and when I think about it...do I really read anything that isn't relevant to me? Nope. Not really. So what do I do now? I've been thinking a lot about it and my first step is to just ask my first graders. What issues or problems matter to you? So I added it to my interest survey (click to grab for free): From there...I will need to get creative. They are new readers. And some of them may share some big issues and some students may not. But I need to be prepared to help them make connections to what matters to them and the books we are reading. And I am up for the challenge because Beers and Probst state that: "If they are to undertake anything significant in the future, it will be because they have learned the importance of significant work early on in their schooling." This statement says a lot. We need our students out there doing significant work. We need them to have a voice. So we need to help them find that voice...even at a young age. Em
